After a memory prod by Dean
Acbeson, who served him as, sec
retary of state, and a "play-by
play" post-mortem by Artbur
Krock, ex-President Harry Tru
man has confessed his error in
repudiating as coming out of the
air" an interview be gave to
Krock of the New York Times
back in 1950. He was queried about
it during his recent testimony be
fore a House committee. Krock
had quoted him as saying a cer
tain amount of unemployment "is
a healthy thing," that from three
to five million out-of-work is "sup
portable." when apprised of his
error, Truman for once was frank
to admit it He. not only apolo
gized to Krock, he asked the com
mittee chairman to correct the
record, explaining "my memory
doesn t work very fast
This Isn't the first time that
Harry has got in trouble with his
memory and the record. He dis
missed Henry Wallace as secre
tary of commerce because of a
speech Wallace made, but Wal
lace insists HST read and ap
proved all of it in advance of de
livery. Then Truman and Jimmy
Byrnes were quite at odds over
their relations when Byrnes was
secretary of state.
Because of this "memory lapse,"
the New York Herald-Tribune, edi
torializing before Truman recanted
his testimony, declared: "A new
verb is needed for our language
to describe the process of Tru
manizing' events. When one doesn't
like a particular fact, he simply
abolishes it." The H-T calls Tru
manizing "one of the truly fine
arts, one which requires rare com
binations of audacity recklessness
and .skill."
Now that the former president
has made the amende honorable,
perhaps we should erase the word
coined by the Herald-Tribune. This
convenient forgetfulness is, how
ever, often observed among poll'
ticians. and for that matter it is
very common in all walks of life.
Denying what some one said an
otherperson said you said Is an
ordinary escape from embarrass
ment. Truman s indulgence is an
other proof that he belongs among
the common people, though as
president he often showed both
uncommon perspicacity and cour

Recent reports indicated that

U.N. to Hear Russ Nuclear
Flight Charges; U.S. Ready
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. WV-
The United States will cite its
disarmament record Monday in
the U.N. Security Council when
it denies Soviet charges of provoc
ative American nuclear bomber
flights across the arctic.
A spokesman said Sunday U!S.
Delegate Henry Cabot Lodge
would take this, line in answering
Soviet Delegate Arkady A, Sobo-
lev, who is expected to speak
soon' after the 11-nation Council
convenes- - . ; . 1
We consider it to be an im
portant speech," the delegation
spokesman said, of Lodge s ad
dress. "It will rely heavily on our
record , of trying to reach an
agreement with the Russians on
mutual' inspection and disarma
ment." While denying that U.S. Air
Force operations threaten peace,
Lodge is expected to stress the
need for some international sys
tem to prevent surpise attack
and mention President Eisenhow
er's 1955 open skies plan of mutual
U.S.-Soviet aerial inspection.
The Soviet complaint on the
Council's tentative agenda is titled
"Urgent measures to put an end
to flights by United States mili
tary aircraft armed with atomic
and hydrogen bombs in the direc
tion of the frontiers of the Soviet
Union."
